She needs prompt testing. Begin with three things:
Lethargy, hind end wekaness, and drooling can indicate
insulinoma. This calls for a test of blood glucose level.
Lethargy, hind end weakness, and coughing can indicate either
cardiomyopathy or a lung infection so a chest x-ray also makes
sense and is the way to start invesitgating for those.
There are futher possible tests, like a CBC and such. I'd
certainly also go with the CBC which can be done at the same
time, esp. since the symptoms are very general so may have a
cause other than the first three I mentioned.
Rapid breathing can indicate discomfort or pain depending on
degree.
